The FISU World Forum 2022 opens on the theme of sustainability
The 16th FISU World Forum has opened today in Cartago, Costa Rica. Until the end of the week, the 160 participants from 45 national university sports federations will hold discussions and attend workshops and activities focusing on sustainable development.
